Recombinant Human PCSK9 protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: PCSK9-1154H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human PCSK9 aa. (Trp156~Trp461 (Accession # Q8NBP7) fused with N-terminal His tag was produced in E. coli cells.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an autocatalytic processing event with its prosegment in the ER and is constitutively secreted as an inactive protease into the extracellular matrix and trans-Golgi network. It is expressed in liver, intestine and kidney tissues and escorts specific receptors for lysosomal degradation. It plays a role in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: His
• Form: Freeze-dried powder
• Molecular Mass: 36kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE reducing conditions.
• Protein length: Trp156~Trp461 (Accession # Q8NBP7)
• Endotoxin: <1.0EU per 1µg (determined by the LAL method)
• Purity: >95%
• Characteristic: The isoelectric point is 5.9.
• Applications: SDS-PAGE; WB; ELISA; IP.
• Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate of the target protein. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. (Referring from China Biological Products Standard, which was calculated by the Arrhenius equation.) The loss of this protein is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
• Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8°C for one month. Aliquot and store at -80°C for 12 months.
• Storage buffer: Supplied as lyophilized form in PBS, pH 7.4, containing 5% sucrose.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute in sterile PBS, pH7.2-pH7.4.
